Hi,

I was wondering if someone could clarify this for me.  I'm trying to decrypt
a string which has been encrypted in 3DES ECB mode.

I'm using the command line utility and a program I have written to do this.
According to the EVP_EncryptInit.html, I should use the cipher
EVP_des_ede3().

However in the command line utility I don't see any 3DES ECB cipher.
According to the 'enc' man page the cipher 'des-ede3' is an alias for
'des-ede3-cbc'.  

Are both of these correct?  If so, shouldn't there be a standard naming
convention for these ciphers?  and how do I encrypt/decrypt a string in 3DES
EC mode using the command line utility?

Thanks,

Stella
